How were the 9 parts of the nano 5g firmware derived? I know that if you look at the firmware.mse with a hex editor, you can find 9 differant 87302 sections, which I'm assuming are the differant parts, but can the parts be disassembled somehow? I noticed that on: http://purpleskank.wikidot.com/ipod-nano-5g that it shows names of all the parts, which can't be found by looking with a hex editor which leads me to believe it

I'm thinking of building a battery-powered charger for my Rockboxed player (sansa Fuze). What would RB do if the charge voltage drops? Would it be a major problem? Would it stop charging (thus not completely draining my charger batteries)?

Zagor: The wiki is generating links with different base than the one the server redirects to. Usually not a problem, but clicking on anything in the TOC on http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/DeviceChart causes a full reload because the urls do not match the loaded url.

JdGordon: with skin variables, would it be possible to create a 'multiscreen wps', e.g. one with a full-size album art that rotates to the info screen? maybe with optional timeout? if that's possible, then it's great :D

and all the static buffers are changed to buffer_alloc() which means the the screen size needs to be known very early at boot and cannot really be changed afterwards; that's not really better than static buffers known at compile time

gevaerts: No matter what we did, maemo releases would be "untested", as they are built by maemo.org... I may investigate what's needed to build outside scratchbox though - we can decide later what to do with that info...

toffe82: As I mentioned before, I finally sat with the MEG50JS and played with the update script in the firmware update. I wiped the script, added "echo 'Cool for cats' > /mnt/hdd/coolforcats.txt" into it, ran it, and got my coolforcats.txt file. :)

I've been reworking the HDD6330 keymapping a little bit; the current keymap somewhat sloppy and hard to use. It's also inconsistent with confirmation messages; e.g. PLAY to confirm when it's actually FFWD that confirms.

pamaury: I've been running with a (slightly enhanced version of) your dump-open-files patch, and so far I haven't found any files left open when shutting down/going to USB slave mode other than the currently played file and the font file (/.rockbox/fonts/08-Rockfont.fnt)

SPI mode is purely serial, just 1 bit per clock, so fairly slow compared to SD mode. I would go for SD mode then. I don't know much about SDIO, probably very similar to SD, just not limited to SD cards.

linuxstb: your name is still listed as a potential mentor with the "Improved video playback" project idea on SummerOfCode2011. It's there (I think) because saratoga copied that block from last year's page. Do you have time for mentoring this year?

n1s: depends. I'd like some serious candidates now (to make sure google doesn't get the impression we can't do it due to lack of manpower), but actually assigning mentors to projects has to be done by April 22

gevaerts: Regarding convttf, I agree about removing it from the "all:" target in tools/Makefile. If/when it is actually needed as part of the build process, it should be enabled only for those targets which need it.

gevaerts: Also, I'm starting to think that the mentor's job _should_ be a technical one. At least one person should take a close interest in the student's work and review any patches. Plus, if the student disappears after the summer, someone needs to be able to maintain it.

JdGordon: Regarding the dynamic LCD size patch, how do you propose to integrate it in the SDL app? i.e. how will the LCD size be selected? Also, I'm not convinced it needs to be committed until the other problems are solved (or at least, a solution is agreed).
